Cass McCombs - A Blue, Blue Band lyrics

They come all the way from Virginia City
Nevada a blue, blue band
(What kind of band? What kind of band?)
They broke down once or twice
(They broke down once or twice)
In their blue van (In their blue van)
A blue, blue band
And the mechanic said ("I'll do my best")
"I'll do my best to get you
To your show on time" ("I'll do my best")
And when they pulled up to the club
The crowd was ready to rub and
The lights turned all blue (Ready to rub)

A blue, blue band (What kind of band?)
A blue, blue band (The lights wеnt all blue)
And they started to play a bluе, blue song
A blue, blue band (It was a blue)
A blue, blue band
(It was a blue band, what kind of band?)
A blue, blue band

The trumpet player Otis
Makes a sound like a lotus
(Makes a sound like a lotus, lotus)
A blue, blue band (A blue band)
And on bass fiddle, Fritz
(Cooks it hotter than grit's) Cooks
It hotter than grit's (Hot)
A blue, blue band
(A blue band, a blue band, a blue band, oh)
But don't take my word for it
Next time you feel like dancing
Go see for yourself
(Next time you feel like dancing)
There's a tremendous harmonica player
Whose name now escapes me
(What's his name? What's his
Name? What's his name?)

A blue, blue band (What kind of band was it?)
A blue, blue band (What kind of band?)
And the singer, she's a ringer
Her name is Belle
A blue, blue band (They had a blue band)
A blue, blue band
(They had a, they had a blue band)
A blue, blue band

The clientele changes
(Every so often) every so often
A blue, blue band (It was a blue band)
But whoever is playing turns
The listener blue
(Turn the listener, turn the listener)
A blue, blue band
(What kind of band did they
Hear? They don't know, yeah)
Listen to them playing what's been
Weighing heavy on your heart
(Their music stands apart)

A blue, blue band (Listen to them play)
A blue, blue band (Weighing on your heart)
You feel a release in your body
From the instant they start
(The instant they start) a blue, blue band
(What kind of band were they?)
A blue, blue band
A blue, blue, blue, blue, blue
Blue, blue, blue, blue, blue, blue band

(It was a blue, blue band)
